Gruul Stompy builds are a standard dual-color archetype in MTG. But in Bloomburrow, Raccoons and the Expend mechanic have taken the boring archetype to new levels. After playing in the Early Access event, I wouldn’t say the BRB Raccoon Draft archetype is the best, but it’s a solid B-to-A tier deck depending on your choices.
A big reason the Racoon archetype does well, especially against aggressive decks, is that you can use Expend and larger creatures. By spending extra mana each turn, the Raccoon build scales quickly, ending games when your opponent doesn’t have enough removal to deal with multiple 4/4, 4/5, and 6/6 creatures hitting the board.
